Hi Harry,
The best bet is to look for examples in the Find Examples under help in labview. Usually you will find everything you need .Also, search the developer zone.
Hope that helps

Thank you for your reply...
I still cannot find the information that I need...for example where can I find a diagram on how to connect a 3-wire RTD to the usb-6009?

Hi Harry,
I perfectly agree with roozbeh079.
LabView examples cover a wide range of problems and it's easier to start from working code than from a blank Vi.
If you don't find anything useful in the HW manual or in LV examples try serch Ni.Com.
For Insance using keywords:
"3 wire RTD 6009"
you should be able to find this useful document

Feel free to ask for advise
Kind Regards

Key note at the bottom of that link:
NOTE:
It is not recommended to use USB 6008, USB 6009 or any M, E, S series cards for temperature measurement. To acquire data from an RTD with USB or M, E and S series cards, most importantly, you will need a current excitation source. By itself, the DAQ device will be unable to provide this. However, you can provide your own external source, or you can consider one of National Instruments signal conditioning options for RTD measurements with your DAQ card. For example, an SCC-RTD01 module in an SC-2345 carrier provides a 1 mA excitation source, as well as all of the other signal conditioning required for RTD measurements. Below are included links to information detailing SCC Signal Conditioning Systems and product pages for the SCC-RTD01 module and the SC-2345 carrier. For most accurate RTD readings the optimal configuration is the use of SCXI-1581, SCXI-1121, or SCXI-1122 modules.
